Yes. L-Arg\inine is used therapeutically up to 15 grams a day. It is a systemic vasodilator and opens up microcirculation, which increases body capacitance and reduces blood pressure. Excellent for diabetic neuropathy as well. Many people take it four or five times per day in small doses. Purchase the L-Arginine in quantity (at health food stores), rather than in capsules and you will save a lot of money.
I have been taking L-arginine, L-citrulline, along with Alpha Lipoic acid and fish oil to prevent heart disease. My doctor told me to take aspirin. I exercise 4 times per week and have lost 10 lbs. Recently I have been having frequent nosebleeds. I cut back on the dosage of aspirin but still have nose bleeds although not as often. I don't know if the combination of supplements is the cause of the nosebleeds.
And regarding l-arginine - its an amino-acid as I remember from the course of chemistry and it is said to improve libido and erection.
My friend uses it sometimes a half an hour before sex 2-3 pills of 100mg. And he said it does help keep things going quite well.))) He has suggested me to try it but I haven't still. Maybe I will now.
I take a multi vitamin as well as L-Arginine, Zinc and Saw Palmetto. I was wondering if anyone has any concrete evidence that the L-Arginine especially has any negative effects on my condition (causes/exacerbates) breakouts etc. I also currently use vitamin E liquid topically and have been trying to live as healthy a life style as possible. I like taking the L-arginine for the muscle building properties but I am willing to stop taking it if it makes my HPV worse.
All the searches I have done related to this inform me of a diet high in L-Lysine and low in L-Arginine to help treat herpes, which I do not have. I am currently undergoing cryotherapy for my breakouts because the Aldera cream irritates me too much. I also currently use vitamin E liquid topically and have been trying to live as healthy a life style as possible (quit smoking, drinking and eating healthier).
I just take a prenatal multivitamin by Nature Made that has DHA in it. It's nice because it's all in one capsule. I also take an extra folic acid also by nature made.
My turn to apologize. I have been very busy and only returning messages to my network of "friends." I will send you an invitation after i finish this note.
I too well understand how this has affected your husband. Things are starting to improve for me, and I cannot imagine what it would be like to be active (again) and then to begin having problems.
Acid reflux is usually due to not enough acid. My mum was on nexium (acid blocker) for 6 years and her health worsened. She had severe GERD. Now she takes betaine HCL with pepsin and digestive enzymes. Her health improved drastically and her GERD went away in weeks. She takes these daily with meals. Betaine HCL with pepsin only with protein meals.
Excerpt from Gallbladder Attack article Chronic Heartburn...
We provide in vitro and ex vivo evidence that gMDSCs potently inhibited T cells in a partially arginase-dependent manner. L-arginine-deprived T cells upregulated system L amino acid transporters to increase uptake of essential nutrients and attempt metabolic reprogramming. These data demonstrate the capacity of expanded arginase-expressing gMDSCs to regulate liver immunopathology in HBV infection.
I have a question from the opposite angle.. I had been told l- arginine would be of help releasing nitric oxide in the blood to help with male erection/orgasm ..however, that arginine shouldn't be taken by those with hsv1/2 because it can provoke an outbreak. Can you debunk this ? I would love to take arginine if it can help at all !
If you read up about DHEA they say it can increase your sperm ejeculate but not to sure about the count, have you googled how to increase my sperm count, you just may find the answer there, there proberly some quite natural will help, that way no drugs.
Diabetic neuropathy (especially in the feet) can sometimes be significantly reversed by taking oral L-arginine three grams a day in divided doses. A lesser dose will not work. This can also improve sexual function. This non-prescription amino acid can be purchased by the pound in health food stores for $20-$25 U.S., which is far less expensive than the capsules. You should get results within five days of starting treatment.
What did John L. Kitkoski, PhD, say about acid reflux? Not enough stomach acid... the stomach was not acidic enough to convert all the food to acidic, so there would be some acid-base reaction that bubbles up your esophagus. When he first told me, I understood the chemistry he was teaching me, but his solution was to take about 6 HCL tablets with half of a glass of milk. SCARY! Here my throat and mouth were burning like hell and he wants me to put in lots of hydrochloric acid!!! Lots...
